"If you don't turn on the lights when night falls, but light a candle, it will take you back to France in the 18th century, Your Highness, that's why it is known as the Little Versailles on the Pacific coast..."
The real estate agent accompanying Barron said to him respectfully with pride in his eyes:
"Such a luxurious and elegant interior style is due to the fact that Mr. Saperstein hired the world's best art historians and buyers to take care of everything for him."
Looking at the luxurious decoration inside this palace-like building and the beautiful garden outside seen through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Barron also agreed with what the other party said. With Barron's current knowledge, he also liked this place very much.
They were now in the most luxurious mansion in Beverly Hills, which could even be ranked as one of the most expensive mansions in the world at that time. This was the Flower of Leith.
The corridor in front of Barron was like an art exhibition hall, with 18th-century gold-rimmed mirrors and classic master paintings hanging on both sides of the walls. The armchairs placed occasionally were all 18th-century fine products, and the fabrics were made of exquisite Lyon silk.
The previous owner of the Flower of Leith was American media tycoon David Saperstein. He built this epic mansion in 2002, covering an area of more than 5 hectares. The entire mansion cost 70 million US dollars, and the purchase of furniture and interior decoration alone cost as much as 55 million US dollars!
But now the Fleur de Leith belongs to Susan Saperstein - she is David Saperstein's... ex-wife. The two divorced in 2004. After the division of property, Susan got the mansion, but now she has decided to sell it.
You know, such a luxury house, currently priced at $100 million, is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Of course, this does not include Barron.
Although he had bought a manor for Rebecca and her daughter here before, that house could not compare with this place.
For Barron now, if something strikes his fancy, he doesn't need to think too much about it and can just buy it.
After deciding on the house, Barron left Los Angeles and boarded the Devonshire, heading directly to the Magic City of China.
"Has it been confirmed?"
"Well, I went to a private hospital in HK and was diagnosed again."
After taking the medical report handed over by Fan Bingbing, Barron looked at her and asked:
"So what do you think?"
"I..."
Fan Bingbing met Barron's gaze and said firmly:
"I want to give birth to him."
Yes, Fan Bingbing was pregnant with Barron's child. After getting the news, Barron came to Shanghai to see her.
"If you've made your decision, leave the rest to me."
Like Fan Bingbing's current situation, as one of the most famous actresses in China, she has to avoid the public eye for a period of time. Giving birth to this child is indeed a difficult choice for her.
But the child is Barron's...
Fan Bingbing naturally understood what it meant to be able to give birth to a child for him.
Based on her understanding of Barron after being together for so long, she knew that with this child, at least she wouldn't have to struggle for anything in her life.
What's more, she just needs to avoid the public eye and give birth to the child, and she doesn't need to give up her career - although at her current stage, "disappearing" for nearly a year will definitely have an impact, but with capital as a backing, this is not a problem.
But what Barron is thinking about now is not just the matter of this one child, but if he has a child as a bond, then can he have more plans in China...
"Are you so determined to follow me?"
There was a hint of joking in Barron's tone, but Fan Bingbing's answer was serious and firm:
"Well, I've thought so since I was with you. If you don't want me in the future, then I can only regard myself as having met the wrong person."
"Don't worry..."
Barron held her in his arms and said softly:
"I will arrange everything for you... and the child. I just bought a house in Los Angeles. You can go there and wait for the baby to be born after you arrange your affairs in China. Just tell others that you are going to Hollywood for further studies. After the baby is born next year, if you want to make a comeback, I will arrange a few movies for you in Hollywood, and also expand your overseas market."
"I'll listen to you..."
After appeasing Fan Bingbing, Barron still had one more thing to do, which was to find a suitable manager for Tianhe Capital, which was previously registered in the name of Fan Bingbing.
For example, if it comes to film and television investment, Fan Bingbing can still participate, but for other investments - especially when Barron is preparing to make a larger investment in China through a platform like Tianhe Capital, she is now unable to do so.
So Barron needs to find a more suitable executor.
Of course, he doesn't need to do this kind of thing himself. After making the request, a headhunting company will naturally do its best to screen suitable candidates for him.
"Isn't this Ms. Li Lu in the country now?"
When Barron was looking through the candidates for CEO of Tianhe Capital that the headhunting company found for him, he raised his eyebrows and saw a familiar name.
And from the photo, Barron confirmed that this was indeed the person he knew in his previous life - it's just that the gentle-looking woman in the photo was younger than the "Iron Lady" in his impression of his previous life.
"Yes, Your Highness, this Ms. Li used to work at Credit Suisse's investment bank, but for personal reasons, she needs to return to China for development, so we were able to get her information..."
The headhunting company that Barron found was originally a foreign-funded enterprise, so the person who contacted him was also a "foreigner". The blonde beauty said to him:
"We have contacted Ms. Li before. She has just completed the handover of her work and will be able to return to China to meet you next week."
"So she's in New York now?"
After getting confirmation, Barron said:
"No need to bother with that. I'm going to New York later. Just ask her to wait for me there. We can meet and talk then."
"Then...what about the others?"
"I've read Ms. Li Lu's profile and think she should be my first choice. I'll decide after I meet her."
This is completely Barron's excuse. The main reason is that Barron knew Li Lu in his previous life. At that time, Li Lu was already an extremely successful investor, leading a very powerful domestic investment company with strong capabilities.
It can be said that in his previous life, Barron could only look up to the other person.
However, he did not expect that at this time and space, Baron happened to meet the other party who had just resigned from Wall Street and was preparing to return to China. Based on his understanding of the other party, he was indeed the best candidate for the CEO of Tianhe Capital.
